Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A dose ranging study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of arformoterol (given once or twice a day) in subjects with COPD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a double-blind, repeat-dose, randomized, multicenter, two-part, parallel-group, dose-ranging study of arformoterol and placebo in the treatment of subjects with COPD. Approximately 215 subjects will be randomized in this study. Study participation will consist of a total of eight (8) study visits over approximately ten (10) weeks for each subject. This study was previously posted by Sepracor Inc. In October 2009, Sepracor Inc. was acquired by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma., and in October 2010, Sepracor Inc's name was changed to Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subject may be male or female and must be aged greater than or equal to 35 years on the day the informed consent is signed.
* Female subject less than or equal to 65 years of age must have a serum pregnancy test conducted at study start and confirmed negative. Subjects of childbearing potential must be using an acceptable method of birth control and agree to continue its use throughout the study.
* In order to be considered not of childbearing potential female subjects must be:

* documented surgically sterile (defined as status post-hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation) OR
* postmenopausal
* Subject must have a primary diagnosis of COPD, which may include components of chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema. Diagnosis can be made during the screening process.
* Subject must have a minimum smoking history of 15 pack-years (pack-years = the number of cigarette packs per day times the number of years).
* Subject must have a chest x-ray that is consistent with the diagnosis of COPD (e.g., not diagnostic of pneumonia, other infection, atelectasis, or pneumothorax) and taken less than or equal to 6 months before study start. If there is no chest x-ray taken less than or equal to 6 months before study start, a chest x-ray will be performed at Visit 1.
* Subject must be able to complete all study questionnaires and logs reliably.

Exclusion Criteria

* A female who is pregnant or lactating.
* Subject who has participated in an investigational drug study within 30 days prior to study start, or who is currently participating in another investigational drug study.
* Subject's schedule or travel prevents the completion of all required visits.
* Subject is scheduled for in-patient hospitalization, including elective surgery (in patient or out-patient) during the trial.
* Subject has had a life-threatening/unstable respiratory status, including upper or lower respiratory tract infection, within the 30 days prior to study start.
* Subject has a known history of asthma (except childhood asthma) or any chronic respiratory disease (including a current history of sleep apnea) other than COPD (chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema).
* Subject has a known history of alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema.
* Subject has a history of cancer except non-melanoma skin cancer. Subjects with a history of cancer that is considered surgically cured and without a recurrence within the past 5 years may participate in the study. History of hematologic/lymphatic malignancy treated with chemotherapy or radiation is not allowed, under any condition.
* Subject has a history of lung resection of more than one full lobe or being a recipient of a lung or major organ transplant.
* Subject requires continuous supplemental oxygen therapy (unless subject resides at elevation greater than or equal to 4,000 feet).
* Subject has had a change in dose or type of any medications for COPD within 14 days before the screening visit.
* Subject has a known sensitivity to arformoterol, ipratropium or albuterol or any of the excipients contained in any of these formulations.
* Subject has a history of substance abuse within 12 months of Visit 1, or with a positive urine drug screen at study start.
* Subject is using any prescription drug for which concomitant beta-agonist administration is contraindicated (e.g., beta-blockers).
* Subject has had significant blood loss (\>500 cc) or donated blood within 60 days preceding screening or plans to donate blood during or within 60 days after completing the study.
